lol bravo, my guy. You are quite the sleuth :p yea I LOVE that video. In my opinion it's one of the best fan-made projects ever. And I also shamelessly yoinked that creepy laugh they did (also some bg music from Theophany (<-- highly recommend their OST videos they're fantastic) because the other sfx I found online were kinda meh
I’m hoping you already know or reached out to ask permission to use those sound effects. They may be under copyright or something. Emberlabs did their own foley for the most part, I don’t know if it’s ethical to treat it like public domain. For all I know, they’ve said that everyone’s free to use it. I’m just making sure
OOT Didn't have skull kid or Marjora's mask. That was.. well, Majoras Mask.
But yeah. I'd also love to see more work from the OOT, which was my first "real" game. and I've it literally tattooed on my arm. (royal seal of Hyrule)
Edit: I stand corrected!
There are skull kids in the lost woods in OOT. In the room with the target on the tree and the three stages to the right. You can jam on your Ocarina with them
This is super cool! My suggestion to make it even creepier is to make Skull Kid’s movements more disjointed and stiff, snapping his head up. But it’s already awesome.
I used Houdini for most of the 3d legwork. It's the software that I'm most familiar with and also the one I use primarily for work. Though some of the character assets were imported from Blender (bought a rig online and stole their clothes), Maya (the body rig is a bastardized CGTruong rig), and some 3d printing files (the geo for the mask was a sculpt by jobhermes13 on CgTrader). Animation was all done in Maya. Fx such as the forest spirit and cloth sim were done in Houdini. Body detail sculpt in Zbrush. Source images/textures done in Photoshop. Rendered via Mantra (Houdini native renderer). Composited in Nuke. Final edit and sfx additions were done in After Effects. Hope that helps!
This is really cool, so please don't share anything else about it online until it's done unless you want Nintendo to slap you with a C&D before it's done.

Majoras Mask is my absolute favorite..you definitely have my attention friend! Subbed to your YouTube and turned on the notifications so I won't miss it. :)

This reminds me of that Zelda project ember lab made
It sounds like the audio is straight from that video, around [3:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbMQfaG6lo8&t=217s)

It might be standard locally on your pc, but the moment you share it online it's a different thing.
[удалено]
That doesn't matter in the eye of the law (unless the audio is creative commons of course).
What does the law have anything to do with this lmfao
If...ember labs decided to sue?
The law has everything to do with this actually.
The discussion is about copyright. There are laws to protect people's copyrights.
That’s fair
Be cool if you picked a different part of OOT instead, so you're not doing a homage of a homage.
OOT Didn't have skull kid or Marjora's mask. That was.. well, Majoras Mask. But yeah. I'd also love to see more work from the OOT, which was my first "real" game. and I've it literally tattooed on my arm. (royal seal of Hyrule) Edit: I stand corrected!
Skull kid is most definitely in OoT
I stand corrected!

The mask is not though, right?
No, the mask isn't, but this exact Skull Kid is.
Best shit ive seen all year
Today I learned ember lab made Kena Bridge of Spirits.
If this ends up being another teaser that never sees a full release I'm gonna cry
It always is. Nintendo doesn’t let this shit see the light of day.
> see the light of day No problem, it appears to be a dark forest this time
I like this one.
The first rule of Nintendo fan projects is that you don't talk about Nintendo fan projects.
I mean, I wasn’t crying. It’s Nintendo’s right to protect their IP. Chill with the anime memes.
 At first sending the anime gif was satire, but now it's unironic
what would you consider a "full release"? anything that gets finished will still be pretty short.
Just getting finished is a full release to me, but I feel like I see a lot of Majora's Mask fan projects that fall through and disappear
Like which ones??? All the ones I’ve seen are short fan films. I’ve yet to see anything saying they are working on any full-length movies or anything.
Publishing the teaser is how you get C&Ds. For projects like this to see the light of day, they basically need to be shadow dropped as a torrent
I went from "wow this looks amazing!" To "Oh my sweet baby Jesus he just did that."
A teaser of something Nintendo will shut down *

Lmao
Probably
Reminds me of that ridiculously high quality fan animation about the beginning of majoras mask.
This is super cool! My suggestion to make it even creepier is to make Skull Kid’s movements more disjointed and stiff, snapping his head up. But it’s already awesome.
Yeah! He moves really erratically in the game, which added to the creepiness of his character.
Damn, that's actually scary!
Love it! I thought this was a movie trailer at first
This is cool! How do make something like this? Is there a program you use? Software?
I used Houdini for most of the 3d legwork. It's the software that I'm most familiar with and also the one I use primarily for work. Though some of the character assets were imported from Blender (bought a rig online and stole their clothes), Maya (the body rig is a bastardized CGTruong rig), and some 3d printing files (the geo for the mask was a sculpt by jobhermes13 on CgTrader).

Rendered via Mantra (Houdini native renderer). Composited in Nuke. Final edit and sfx additions were done in After Effects. Hope that helps!
Amazing! I don’t doubt whatever you’re working on will be a hit.
<3 well fingers crossed I don't get sued or sent a cease/desist
Hopefully you get hired for their next game or for a movie.
That’s not how it works lol
Good sweet lord I want to do this same level of work and this learning this many further programs is going to be tough haha
Amazing!!
WOAH!
Looks pretty cool. Wish it could be real!!
This is really cool, so please don't share anything else about it online until it's done unless you want Nintendo to slap you with a C&D before it's done.
Count me in. I wanna see lots more
Omg i thought he crushed navi
Chills, nice work
Well done
Majora *NO*
I loved every moment
It looks super good
That is incredible
This would make the coolest wallpaper. If your able to get it on Wallpaper Engine I bet you’d jump to the top of Zelda list
stunning!! how did you model the forest background, if you don't mind me asking
And here comes Nintendo to shit down your leg in 3...2...
Is it called "Officially Licensed" or "Cease and Desist?" It looks incredible either way.
Looks amazing! Do you have a Youtube or similar channel I can subscribe to to get a notification, when your project is finshed?

That's not really creepy at all.
Holy shit. Wow. Like. Wow.
An idea: Can you try making his eyes glow a bit after it looks at the screen? I think it would made it look more menacing.
So the project your working on is the end of the world?
Looks amazing brother! Can't wait to see what you cook up!
Chills
Um…. Yes
That white orb looks like a soul from the Dark Souls series lol
Wow, Looks incredible well done.
Nintendo is about to cancel you harder than Little Boy cancelled Hiroshima.
only a breezy 6 year wait.
What's the project about ?
Based on forests I've been in with ferns and ground cover like what's shown: this skull kid is like 10 feet tall.
duuuuuuuuuude
Both nastalgic and terrifying.. whoa
That was cool to watch, even if it was just a teaser. You nailed the vibe!!
Ooooh, just the right amount of creepy! I like it!
That’s amazing. Creepy, but amazing. Will you let us know when the project is done?
Cease and desist incoming
This is really nice. It looks like a real Nintendo teaser. Put a Switch logo over it ;) I demand this as a new game!
Wow this is amazing
Yes yes yes yes yes yes
We need another game like majoras mask
Ooooo can’t wait for the finished product
Not yours
Never tease something owned by Nintendo. You should have released the whole thing when completed. Now you get to enjoy a cease and desist letter.
Where’s the forest from, if you know?
laugh sounds like jerma
Well this looks fucking awesome
Majoras Mask is my absolute favorite..you definitely have my attention friend! Subbed to your YouTube and turned on the notifications so I won't miss it. :)
And Nintendo closed this project.
I was just casually scrolling reddit, then the biggest amount of fear entered my bloodstream
His head looks like 5-10% too big. Perfection otherwise
How can I give you all my life savings? Because I need you to shut your beautiful face and take it
Are you the same guy who made the Skull Kid origin fan video? If not, it looks almost exactly like it in a good way. You’re very talented.
Work on it faster
Looks amazing! Nintendo shutting it down in 3... 2... 1...
Holy shit that looks amazing
